26/06/2014 (Agence Europe) - Greek bank liquidity support measures extended. The European Commission has approved the extension until 31 December 2014 of public liquidity support measures for Greek banks. The measures include a regime of state guarantees on debt instruments issued by banks and a system of lending of government bonds. Both aim to boost banks, access to liquidity. The Commission says that these measures are appropriate, proportional and limited with regard to their duration and form and are therefore compatible with the Commission's rules on state aids to banks.
